Magnificent Factoría Joven Skate Park is a Luminous Oasis in Mérida

Due to its extreme architectural impact and its long-lasting design, the building raised a critical political debate on how a public space should be designed today. But Factoría Joven is also a spectacular example of architecture built by the council in coordination with local residents. The project is set on the outskirts of a semi-industrial city in an effort to prevent the city’s desertification while encouraging young and old alike to engage in pleasurable and healthy outdoor experiences.
